Ok So I have read reviews of this Greek place and want to check it out but I can't find any good directions. Does anyone know how to get there or where in Itaewon it is? Only been to Itaewon a few times so not that knowledgeable about the area. Thanks.

Someone else will have to be more specific, but from what I remember, go behind Hamilton Hotel and turn left and walk down that street. Santorini is on the left, up on the second floor. If I remember right, the sign is white with blue writing.

I was just there today!

Yes it's behind the Hamilton Hotel, on the left side if you are facing the hotel. Just go up an alley next to the hotel and it's at the top. It's on the street where all the little restaurants are, the sign is blue and white and it's on the second floor. I'm horrible with directions, but it's not difficult to find.

The food was really good, I had a chicken pita and the french fries were pretty amazing, big chunks of potato with some garlic flavour, and so was the tzatziki.

Hmmm I only tried the chicken pita, and it wasn't Koreanized. However I haven't seen the other dishes...

Yeah, I haven't been back there since they gave me my gyros in a tortilla rather than pita. I think their food is going downhill. I like the little place in Edae much better. It's called "Gyros". Turn right when you get to the university gates.

It's across from Scrooge Bar on the 2nd floor, catty corner to 3 Alleys Pub. Ask anyone for either of those two places and look up from there. You can't miss it.

BTW, the food there's REALLY good..By far the best Greek food in Korea- cooked by a Greek-Albanian, most ingredients shipped in from Europe. Never found it to be 'Koreanized', unless your party has many Koreans.

Just upstairs from Bricx in Itaewon, behind the Hamilton and not far from Gecko's Garden. I went there when they first opened, and was a bit disappointed (no rice or potatoes, only fries) and the second time was better but still not quite up to snuff for proper Greek (the calamari was a regular ojinga squid roasted over a grill and sliced up). I've never been to Greece so maybe that's real Greek calamari, but it's not what I was expecting when I order calamari.

Well, no roast lamb = no me at that restaurant anytime soon.

I went two weeks ago and we ordered the kebab plate and a greek salad. Both were delicious and we had some real pitas with the plate. The tzaziki was amazing!
